THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS The change of management of the Northeastern and Macon and North ern roads into the hands of the Richmond and Danville, according to Mr. Patrick Calhoun, is building up this section of Georgia. It gives through trains, better connections, more comfortable accommodations, etc. If one were to shut his eyes and listen to this kind of talk, be might be led to believe that the salvation of Athens was in the hands of this great railroad syndicate. Let the people of Athens stop the orizing on the question and, coming right down to our own case, see what tbe Terminal Company is doing for our city in the way of development. Before the consolidation of these two lines under the control of the Richmond and Danville, Athens was the terminus of each road. Each road had its depot, each road was managed by a different set of offi cers, and was an entirely different organization from the other. Under the new order of things both depots are consolidated, one set of employes suffices for all the work, the great syndicate pockets the ex tra amount of money in cool cash profit, and Athens is out just that amount. Good men are turned out of their jobs and the Terminal goes serenely on in its work of developing the South. Of what advantage to Athens are the through trains to Macon and Lula ? From the terminus of each road, she suddenly becomes no high er in rank or importance than Center or Whitehall; a mere station on the line, at which trains stop just long enough to transfer passengers. Formerly a person passing through Athens would stop half a day here en route to his destination. Now he goes straight through without stop ping. Tnese are a few pointers for Ath enians who see great benefits results ing from the through trains now be ing run from Lnla to Macon. And in the matter of schedules everything is against Athens; every that has been made has been detrimental to her interests. The only passenger train that comes to from Macon each day arrives in this city at 6 40 in the evening What effect does thiB have upon Athens’ trade from points between here and Madison ? It simply care trade from Watkinsville, just seven miles from here, to Madison or other points, because the sched ule is a very inconvenient one. Just mark that down as another way in which Mr. Oalhoon’s compa ny is benefiting Athens and her people. Why can’t a train leave Macon in tbe night and get to Athens at 7.45 in the morning, tbe same hour a which the train leaves here for Lula? This would be a most profitable train to Athens and to the people along - the line. It could be so, but the working methods of development are not formed in that manner. That would take a few dollars ont of the pockets of the railroad magnates. This is the new order of things as by the West Point Terminal unpany. There is another new order of that will soon be upon ns and inld get ready for it. It will ling when it comes. short while a competing to New York will be .je Georgia, Carolina and * jtorn, r:(»w within the gates of r-.ity, will be running a schedule niwwpn I freight traffic between here and New York can very easily be released from the control of the Richmond & Danville. In three or four months this road will enter the city of Atlanta, making the distance between Athens and the Gate City not more than seventy miles. It is not hard to guess which way our citizens will travel, or on what road they will ship their freight. Then all we will need will be a Southern connection,and if tbe Geor gia, Carolina and Northern will build road from here to Macon to con-- nect with the G^ S. & F., the West Point Terminal Company, so iar as Athena and this section are concern ed, can go on in its work of develop ment without molestation. The light between Congressman Watson and the Atlanta Constitution assumes renewed beat. Speaking of the affair the New Orleans State3 has this to say: Congressman-elect Watson, of Georgia, caused quite a sensation by making tbe charge that the Atlanta Constitution promised to secure for him the chairmanship of an important committee in the event of his casting his vote for Judge Crisp for the speak ership. The Constitution has denied this charge in very vigorous language, aud it appears that no one on the paper authorized to speak for it made such an offer to Mr Watson, but on the con trary that the letter to that gentleman was written by tbe Washington corres pondent of the Constitution presuma bly at the instigation of Congressman Amos Cummings, of New York, who is managing the fight in the interest of Judge Cri*»p, and that the letter was penned without the knowledge of eith er the Constitution or Judge Crisp, and that Watson was fully aware of the fact at the time be made the charge. COL. LIVINC8TON AND THE ALLIANCE There are many papers in Georgia whose conduct towards the Alliance and towards Col. Livingston in par ticular is hardly just. It would be well for these papers to pause in their madness and consider what they are doing. The Banner has been tbe farmer’s friend since the days of reconstruc tion, and professes to have lost none of its zeal for their safety and wel fare. The Banner was among tbe first papers iu the State to espouse the cause of the Alliance, and for a long time was tbe only paper in the State that battled for their rights uncompromisingly. We have always seen in this great movement of the farmers much to endorse and little to condemn. Wc believe the alliance of the farmers for the defeat of tyrannical oppress sion of monopolists is a cause that is as just and light as was the cause that led our heroes to death for free dom’s *>»ke in days that are past aDd The fact is staring tbe farmers in the face that, although they make a bounti ful cotton crop, they must sell at the price placed upon the staple by Wall street speculators. From the present outlook that price will be very low, aud the result will be that, if the farmer cannot afford to hold his cotton, he will be compelled to sell it for less than it cost to make it. No wonder be anxious for a change in governmental affairs that will bring better times. gone. The farmers have a right to made make demands. They have cause to do it. If, with all the untold suffer ings at the hands of domineering re publicanism ; with all bis unjust treatment at the hands of the Na tional government, tbe farmer has po right to demand redress, then we ask is all candor and concern who under the face of Heaven has this right ? The Banner is, as it has always been, an Alliance paper, and while it does not swear to uphold the utter ances and deeds of every Alliance leader, it will never be found trying to arouse discontent and dissension among the masses of Georgia far mere. We believe that the Alliance itself can deal with its leaders and we propose to let all these adjust inents be made in the halls of the State Alliance Convention from year to year. Col. Livingston has doubtless done much that was not wise—all men make errors. But Col. Livingston has done the Alliance much good at the same time, and it can be truth fully said that he baa done more to wards uniting the farmers than any other man has done. We do not agree with him in his position to*, wards tbe railroads. Neither did the Alliance Convention. But after all, Col. Livingston has done much for which the Alliance should feel grateful. He 'told the People’s party in Cincinnati that be was opposed to their methods, and said he could not ask the farmers of Georgia to follow them. This was right. He says be is a democrat odd will work for Crisp for the Speakership- He says he will sub** mit to the democratic caucus Washington. It is wise to let things take their course. Newspapers should not be hasty. This is no time to. show tern per. We do not believe the farmers of Georgia are waspish to the demo cratic party, and until the democracy is attacked there is no cause for de nonneing the leaders of the Alliance in the demands of their order. The Banner is no Livingston pa* per, nor a Watson paper, nor a paper for any one man. The Alliance uself must deal with its leaders. But we are with the farmers in their de* mands for better days and easier times. to The se«-etary of the treasury seems think the Republican campaign iu Obio needs some fosteriug iuuflon- ce8. A <"lub of fifty girls turned out in the McKinley procession in Ohio on Saturday. It’s nc> use, however. The ladies are against tbe hi<l.

Tbe man named nine, and modesty perhaps, kept him from naming the tenth. May be tbe suggestion is that he, himself, is ‘in it.” Wu.-ffVr One Hundred Dollars Be ard for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Nortubn of Georgia, has ap proved a bill to prevent the sale of liquor within three miles of a church or school house. This lav; is no doubt aimed at tbe convival souls of Atlanta, but they will find a way to get around it by having pipe lines built in from the suburbs aud ordering tbeir drinks by telephone. Gov. Northkk and tbe Georgia prohibitionists are mighty mistakeu if they think they can pre vent an Atlanta man from guzzling his toddy. Wk observe that tbe Republicans art taking unto themselves the credit of the big crops; but what about Demo cratic Iowa, with the greatest crop ever known ? They ought to allow that the Almighty has something to do with this.—Exchange. And if they’ll come South, we wilj show them the section where the Lord’s people live. If carrying millions of money out of Georgia and dumping it into the cof fers of New York millionaires may b called tbe progress of the south, then Georgia should beseech our legislator to confer a title of nobility on Pat Cal houn and (he other Terminal direc tors.

Ath ens has everything that’s good and wonderful. The Philadelphia Press thinks young Mr. Hour, of Tennessee, stands the best chance of succeeding his late fa ther iu the next congress. The 9000 majority which tbe young man receiv ed several weeks ago, seems to confirm this view of the situation. A Witt y exchange gets off the follow ing on the High Tariff leader: Maj McKinley made his opening campaign speech at his birthplace, is not so great a distance from the cradle to the grave-yard, politically speaking. Atlanta gets the offices of the Ter minal Company, but it will be an eter nity before the Gate City ever lays her fingers upon any of its earnings or ac cumulations. They will go to New York. at The secretary of the treasury is again practicing jugglery with figures to con ceal the deficit. Figures naturally don’t lie; but in the bands of the ar tist they lose their native virtue and are liable to tell any story required. Democratic clubs ought to organized all over tbe Southern states Let the Democracy move forward with a solid phalanx against Republicanism in tbe next campaign. Wanted: The people of Georgia want more statesmen like Stephens Hill and Toombs to unmask the West Point Terminal and show to the masses the best way to chain thiB “monster of so frightful mien;” Somebody ought to notify Skiff, the irrepressible Jeweler, that the mayor’s , race in Athens is growing waim. Of ; and tlii'ii tbe travel and course, he will “be in the race.” “Deep water!” is the cry of Savan nah. Before the West Point Terminal is done with Savannah figuratively she will indeed be in shallow water. •+- ♦♦ Says the Boston Herald: Col.

He will be buried at tbe family bu ry ing ground near Homer today. The bereaved family has tbe sj mpa- thies of all who knew the deceased. HE HANDLED A BRICK FREELY. And Was Given a Place BehICd the Bars for It. Wince English, a negro man, is be hind the bars for a murderous assault ou Carrie Williams, a person of color. Wince and Carrie got to quarreling over on Mr. S. Michael’s lot in this city, and words soon led to blows. Wince couldn’t vent his temper suffl ciently with his tongue, and he conclu ded to see what virtue there might be in a brick. Accordingly he picked up one of these missiles and knocked the negro woman in the head with it. The wound was a pretty severe one and bled profusely. Wince saw what mischief he bad (lone and immediately took leg bail. He made off and was not seen until yesterday morning when officer Moon found him and promptly put the nip pers on him. He now languishes behind the bars to answer to the charge of assault with in tent to murder. The woman is not in a dangerous condition but the wound on head is quite a severe one. the weather situation. A Great Deal of Rain has Fallen for this Season of the Year., It has been quite a rainy summer all around. Tbe weather has been hot at times but averaged up, tbe weather has been more than moist. In speaking of the weather yesterday Col* Charbonier stated that we had had a wet July and August,more^so than is generally the ease. The recent rainfalls have been very heavy. The rainfall for Saturday and Sun day was one inch, aud Tuesday night’s rain was .78 of an inch. And the .outlook is for more rain still. A COMMON DISEASE. Dyspepsia has become the most com' mou disease of the country, all classes are not exempt, attacking the young as well as the old, caused no doubt from our mode of liviqg and the too free use of tobacco, etc., and yet it is one of the mo t difficult diseases we have to en counter. In the last five years Dr. Holt discovered a remedy, (Dr. Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir), up to this time has not failed to cure in a single instance. We can refer you to W. A. Wright, Comp. Gen of the State, Judge R F. In a speech at the Merzoturg banquet in Berlin, the emperor said he never would neglect a chance to promote the interests of agriculture. " We all hope for peace," he said, "and should war break out it will not be our fault. ” Thomas Ready, a saloon keeper at Fall River, Mass., has sued the Globe for libel, placing damages at $5,000.

Robert Cox, a young colored man, was being drawn ont of tbe Nickel-Plate mine of the Crawford Coal company, at Car<lonia, Ind., in a cage, when the rope broke, allowing its human freight to fall to the bottom of the shaft, a dis tance of forty feet. Cox was terribly ent and bruised, and may lose his life. Clutrlee Devine, section foreman thir teen miles south of Sherman. Tex., on the Houston and Texas Central railroad, was found dead beside the track with h*s head crashed iu behinl the ears. Devine was heard to say recently that l.o wish*' i Ik* was dead, and the belief is generally prevalent that be commit tedf suicide. . A Managua, Nicaragua, dispatch says: The news telegraphed from Grenada to the United States to the effect that there had been riots there on Sunday last, and that the chief of police and six men bad been killed, and that three im portant personages were to be expelled irom Nicaragua, with the warning that they would be shot if they returned, is correct. Rebecca Rubenstein arrived at the barge office at New York from Odessa, bringing her twenty-four children. Their ages range from 1 to 85 years.

Mrs. Rubenstein is 45 years old anu is still plnmp and pretty. She is about to give birth to the twenty-fifth child. Ex-Governor Bowie, who kw been to Saratoga, where Senotor Gorman now is, is authority for -the statement that Gorman told a prominent Connecticut politician, who spoke to him alx.ift the presidency that Maryland’s voice in the next national convention would lie for Cleveland, as her people recognised the fact Cleveland is the popular cltoice of the country and would support him iu the convention so long as he had a chance of winning. Messrs. Burton Smith, W. D. Tallin and L. Z. Rosser left Atlanta for New York to urge the creditors of Stephen A. Ryan to accept his offer of a com promise.

Polk has left Raleigh for Char lotte, N. C. The attacks upon him by the newspapers grow more and more pointed. It was stated recently that he was in conference with some of his chosen friends regarding these direct attacks. It is said further that his friends advised him that unless he took some steps to resent these continued and direct attacks he could not hope to maintain nis position at the head ofthe Alliance.
